本文介绍了MyCS课程，旨在鼓励中学生，即，等级4-10，不仅作为CS的消费者，而且作为计算工件的作曲家。MyCS借鉴了许多成功的在线工具和课程，包括Exploring Computer Science（ECS）和Scratch。MyCS为期18周的课程平衡了对计算机现代作用的广泛处理，并通过不插电和编程解决计算问题来加深学生的动手技能。本文总结了几个MyCS专业发展研讨会的评估，重点是引出教师的需求和目标，他们的教室。此外，我们讨论了该项目的未来在教师为媒介的MOOC的格式，这将使一个更大的教师群体从事他们的学生在CS。
This paper describes the MyCS curriculum, which aims to encourage middle-years students, i.e., grades 4-10, to engage not only as consumers of CS, but as composers of computational artifacts. MyCS draws from many successful online tools and curricula, including Exploring Computer Science (ECS) and Scratch. MyCS's 18-week curriculum balances a broad treatment of the modern role of the computer with deepening students' hands-on skills through computational problem-solving, both unplugged and via programming. This paper summarizes assessments from several MyCS professional-development workshops, with an emphasis on eliciting teachers' needs and goals for their classrooms. In addition, we discuss the project's future in the format of a teacher-mediated MOOC that will enable a larger group of teachers to engage their students in CS.
